Standards
6. RP. Ratios and Proportional Relationships
Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.
6.RP.3a: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
Make tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole number measurements, find missing values in the tables, and plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. Use tables to compare ratios.
Objectives
The student will understand how to make, complete, and read a table of equivalent ratios.
The student will understand that tools such as tables of equivalent ratios support the development of ratio and rate reasoning.
The student will understand that pairs of values from a table can be plotted on the coordinate plane.
The student will understand that establishing connections between tables and plotted points on the coordinate plane allow for extended reasoning and synthesis of the concept of ratios and rates.
Background Information
Recommended: For a quick overview of the standard(s) to be addressed in this lesson, see Arizona’s Content Standards Reference Materials.
Students must create a proposal for pizza(s) that will feed the entire class. Each student has to decide on the type of pizza, the size of pizza, and how many slices of pizza each student will receive. They have to decide the ratio for each piece of pizza that they give to each student and also write a ratio to compare prices of at least 2 different pizza establishments.
Key Questions
How do you create tables of equivalent ratios relating quantities with whole number measurements?
How do you find the missing value in a table?
How do you plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane?
How do you use tables to compare ratios?
Observable Student Behaviors
The student can use a table to compare ratios.
The student can determine missing values using ratio reasoning.
The student can identify relationships in ratio tables.
The student can plot pairs of values from a table to a coordinate plane.
Mathematical Practices 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
The Illustrative Mathematics Project offers guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards. The website features a clickable version of the Common Core in mathematics and the first round of "illustrations" of specific standards with associated classroom tasks and solutions.

http://illuminations.nctm.org/Lessons/PaperPool/PaperPool-AS-MoreTables.pdf This reproducible worksheet, from an Illuminations lesson, depicts several pool tables with different dimensions. Students are asked to determine, if a ball is hit from corner A in each case, the corner in which the ball will eventually land, the number of hits it will make, and the dimensions of the table.
http://illuminations.nctm.org/LessonDetail.aspx?ID=L763 In this lesson, students will design a playground using manipulatives and multiple representations. Maximum area with a given perimeter will be explored using tickets. The playground will include equipment with given dimensions, which decreases the maximum area that can be created. This is an interesting demonstration of how a real-world context can change a purely mathematical result. Finally, scale models will be created on graph paper and a presentation will be made to a playground planning committee for approval.
